229. I thought I was on ignore?

YOU STILL MISS MY POINT! You're gay. Okay. You just don't understand what I'm saying, you want to get all hung up on one simple word. My boss several years ago was gay. Big deal. He was gay, everyone was aware, he didn't hide it. So what. My friend which I mentioned, Stephen, lives the LIFESTYLE of being outwardly, flamboyantly gay. I'm not making any judgements, maybe I'm describing it wrong, but I don't know why it is so hard to understand.

I used my surfing as an example. I surf. There is a surfing lifestyle. Some people just live on the beach and have hibiscus bumper stickers and leave, eat, sleep surf. They are "surfers." They life the surfing lifestyle. Some of us, though, just surf. We just surf when we can. We are surfers, but we don't live the surfing lifestyle 24/7. Why can that be used to describe my friend Stephen, as opposed to my old boss? Stephen flaunts his gayness. He loves it, and so do I. My old boss just wore his suit to work every day and didn't make any big deal about it. If "lifestyle" is wrong, I'm sorry. Educate me. I wasn't trying to be insulting or anything, I just don't know how else to describe it.

It's like the gay pride parades...why do some people want to march down the street in leather chaps and dog collars, while others just say "I'm gay?" I don't think I'm out of line here.
